THE YELLOW COAT
February 27, 2017
Hey guys... How are you
all doing today?
This is my
first outfit post for the year. And that’s after being away for a very long
time. These photos were shot some weeks ago but I’ve been preoccupied with my
sister’s wedding preparations. If you follow me on Instagram you must have seen
lots of photos from the wedding. Thank God the wedding was successful. Anyways,
I made sure that the month of February doesn’t go by without this post. (I
couldn’t even wait for my photographer to edit the pictures).
So! Mom
jeans are one of the most comfortable forms of jeans to wear and they can be styled
in a whole lot of ways. Here, I decided to style mine with this very lovely
yellow coat that’s made of African prints. As a fashion designer, I have great
love for textiles and I’m particular about Ankara.
If I haven’t mentioned it yet, I actually plan to incorporate African prints to
whatever outfit I wear in my daily life. It’s one of my 2017 goals. (I’ll do a
post on my ‘2017 goals’ really soon). So far, it’s been fun wearing a touch of Ankara every day. Let’s see how far I go
with achieving this goal. Plus, I’m eager to see the various ways I’d style
African prints in the coming days. It’s indeed fun and I know I can do it.
The yellow
coat I wore in this post is really very breezy, and can be worn anytime, any
day. Especially in this region where there’s no serious cold. It’s perfect for
our Nigerian weather. The coat is not thick at all, so you need not worry. I
imagine some of my readers wondering why one would wear a coat in our hot
environment. But it’s safe to say this coat is more like a duster jacket. Coats
like this one comes really handy when you’re dressed in -take for instance all
white, and you need to avoid getting any stain.
You might
also want to know that I made the coat myself (MAUDIFFIED). And it’s available
in other colours. Which you’ll see soon here. Kindly follow our page to know when
more photos are shared.
By now you
must have noticed my sneakers. And probably wondering if they came with the
embellishments or if I had pimped them myself. Well, YES guys, I transformed my
plain white sneakers to this. Just in case you don’t know yet, the classic
clean white sneakers are out of trend and what’s in this year are bedazzled,
embellished, bejewelled, be-funky, be-not-boring sneakers. LOL. And if I must
confess, I’m loving the trend and I hope you do too.
It’s such a
shame that I didn’t remember to document the process. I have no step by step
photos or video to share with you. But if you would like to see the DIY
process, kindly let me know in the comments section below.
So,
speaking about trend, what are your thoughts on the embellished sneakers? Are
you into mom jeans? How do you feel about wearing a coat in the type of weather
we have in Nigeria?
I’ll really
love to know what you think, so please, kindly share your thoughts. And
puhleeeeeeease, be kind to share this post.
Thanks, and have a pleasant day.
xoxo
Maudleen.
